Marco has a collection of 38 state quarters. If 3/5 of his quarters are dated 2005, what is the approximate value of the quarters from 2005?

Verified Answer :

First, find the number of quarters that are dated 2005 by multiplying 38*(3/5)
You get 22.8, so you round that to the nearest whole number (23)
Then, since each quarter is worth ($.25) you multiply the number of coins by the worth.
23*.25=$
5.75

Answer:   \(\$5.75\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marco has a collection of 38 state quarters.

The part of his quarters are dated 2005 = \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)

Then, the value of  quarters from 2005 is given by :-

\(\dfrac{3}{5}\times38=22.8\approx23\)

Also, the value of each quarter = $0.25

Then , the approximate value of the quarters from 2005 :-

\(23\times0.25=\$5.75\)

Hence, the approximate value of the quarters from 2005 = \(\$5.75\)
